  Wow, thank you Elephant. Never thought I'd hear you say something like that to me. :-) I appreciate it.

  Like I've said, I used to be on the bandwagon of believing that Russell was a Mason. There is some compelling "proofs" to it. But when you get down to it, it doesn't fit. I don't want to be conclusive about anything. I am open to evidence as it presents itself in whatever area. I'm not too prideful to think I am ALWAYS right. I'm sure I'm wrong about most things. I just hope that I stay willing to see where I'm wrong and fix it.

  An interesting question to ask Jehovah's Witnesses is this: Are Jehovah's Witnesses in Hebrew speaking Israel called "Yahweh's Witnesses"? If the JW looks it up, they will find that NO they are not. They go by the ENGLISH translation of "Jehovah's Witnesses". They go by a German pronunciation of a Latin Rendering from Hebrew. They are 4 times removed from the name. If they are so concerned with accuracy, why do this? It is NOT God's name.

  As the Jewish Encyclopedia brings out, it is grammatically impossible to render the name of God "Jehovah".

  What I find VERY interesting is that many exJWs still hold to this name. They were so brainwashed by the organization that they still can't stop using the nonsense name "Jehovah". You can show them until you are blue in the face that we NOW call God "Father". You can show them that the word "name" meant something different to the Hebrews. It meant "power" or "authority". You can show them that Jesus and the apostles never used the name "Jehovah". But for some reason they still think that THIS pronunciation of JEHOVAH is still of vital importance.

  Watchtower thinking dies hard, I suppose.

  I'm seriously going to get to the bottom of the name Jehovah after my current project.

  EOM, you can do this, but it's been done MANY times on this site. It's been researched and researched and researched. It is quite conclusive that the pronunciation of the tetragrammeton (YHWH) was lost, and it certainly wasn't anything close to "Jehovah". Yahweh seems to be more correct, but even this is not an accurate pronunciation of the original.

  By combining the vowel signs of 'Adho.nay and 'Elo.him' with the four consonants of the Tetragrammaton the pronunciations Yeho.wah' and Yehowih' were formed. The first of these provided the basis for the Latinized form "Jehova(h)." The first recorded use of this form dates from the thirteenth century C.E. Raymundus Martini, a Spanish monk of the Dominican Order, used it in his book Pugeo Fidei of the year 1270. Hebrew scholars generally favor "Yahweh" as the most likely pronunciation.

  Bruce Metzger, who criticizes the KJV's misusage of Jehovah, gives additional information:(7)

  The form "Jehovah" is of late medieval origin; it is a combination of the consonants of the Divine Name and the vowels attached to it by the Masoretes but belonging to an entirely different word ....The word "Jehovah" does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew. The use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom the true God had to be distinguished, began to be discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.

  Finally, the Jewish Encyclopedia (click here) says this about the name: A mispronunciation (introduced by Christian theologians, but almost entirely disregarded by the Jews) of the Hebrew "Yhwh," the (ineffable) name of God (theTetragrammaton or "Shem ha-Meforash"). This pronunciation is grammatically impossible; it arose through pronouncing the vowels of the "?ere" (marginal reading of the Masorites: = "Adonay") with the consonants of the "ketib" (text-reading: = "Yhwh")—"Adonay" (the Lord) being substituted with one exception whereverYhwh occurs in the Biblical and liturgical books.

  The pronunciation was lost in antiquity. It doesn't matter anyway. Contrary to what JWs say, Jesus did not make sure that everyone knew the name "Jehovah" and used it. He showed that we now have a different relationship with God and we now call Him "Father". The slaves, the Jews, called God by His name, but we are now adopted as sons of God and have the honor of calling Him "Abba" or "Father".

  Along with the other links I posted that shows that many Protestants and Catholics use the name "Jehovah", go to youtube and search. The mistranslated and mispronounced name "Jehovah" is not exclusive to JWs or Masons. It would be fruitless to try and set up a link and say that because they both honor the name "Jehovah", they are in kahoots with each other. While the WT preaches that they are the ones that "restored" the name "Jehovah" and they are the true religion because they alone use it and revere it...well that is just untrue. Many cultures and religions revere the name, even though it has been proven to be a lingustic impossibility. Just look below:

  What apostates fail to recognize is...

  you can cut & paste all the excerpts from articles you want...you can leak all the boe letters, you can pretend to be witnesses and come to the conventions and meetings...but.

  no other organization can begin to rival the success and magnitude of the prophecy found in mt 24:14. so apostates....don't waste your time spending countless hours digging up articles and reading books to convince yourself to turn away from jh's organization.

  no matter what "evidence" you find you cannot ignore the obvious fulfillment of matthew 24:14.. .

  Have you taken ANY chemistry, or are you willing to dismiss a subject based on your uneducated opinion since it seems non-sensical to you?

  Yes I have. And I may be more educated than you give me credit for. According to you on nearly EVERY thread you post on, you have this egocentric view of yourself that you are more intelligent than everyone else. And if they don't see things your way you call them names. No love. No respect. Just bitter name calling and ridicule.

  CA, you DO understand the difference between animate and inanimate objects? Between living and non-living matter?

  Do you? How does something BECOME living that was not living? If you have this OVERWHELMING evidence, then tell me how life begins from NON LIFE.

  This is hijacking the thread, and I apologize to EOM. But same something CAME TO LIFE from something that was non living seems the very difinition of irrational to me.
